Despite the prevalence of machining, tools and cutting conditions are often chosen based on empirical databases, which are hard to be made, and they are only valid in the range of conditions tested to develop it. Predictive ...

Replacement of pollutant fuids with eco-friendly strategies in machining operations signifcantly contributes to protecting the environment, diminishing global warming, and ensuring a healthier workplace for employees. This ...

The new architecture of high velocity aircraft engines includes labyrinth-honeycomb interstate seals to improve the engine’s stability. To increase these engines capacity a commonly used strategy is to reduce the clearance ...

This study generated novel behavioural data for three engineering steels undergoing a turning process. The materialswere hardened 410, PH13-8Mo and 300M, two stainless steels and one high strength steel respectively. A ...

Ferrite-Pearlite (FP) steels are used in many automotive components. However, their machinability in low cutting speed processes appears to be highly dependent on their metallurgical state. An experimental approach combining ...

Drag finishing is a widely used superfinishing technique in the industry to polish parts under the action of abrasive media combined with an active surrounding liquid. However, the understanding of this process is not ...

Broaching is a unique machining process with high accuracy and surface quality, which is employed in massand batch production for the manufacture of components with highly complex geometries. It involves the use of ...

Some industrial applications require structured surfaces with high roughness values to ensure their functionality (Ra > 1 µm, Rmax < 30 µm). In order to obtain these structured surfaces with high roughness values, face ...

Aerostructures withstand cyclic mechanical loads and therefore, their design must fulfil surface integrity and fatigue strength requirements. This paper studies the effect of pneumatic machine hammer peening on surface ...
